Quality of life over time after new onset refractory status epilepticus
Abstract Objective This study aims to better characterize the long‐term neurological quality of life (QOL) outcomes (using the Neuro‐QOL scale) in survivors of new onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE), including its subtype febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES), and provide guidance for psychological and social support strategies ...

Cryptogenic stroke: time to determine aetiology [PDF]
Strokes that remain without a definite cause even after extensive work-up are classified as cryptogenic. These constitute about 30-40% of all strokes. Stroke aetiology may remain undetermined for the following reasons: (i) the cause of stroke is transitory or reversible and the diagnostic work-out is not therefore performed at the appropriate time; (ii)

Migraine and patent foramen ovale: correlation, coexistence, dependence. A narrative review
Plain Language Summary This review looked at what scientists know about the connection between migraine and a small heart opening called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). It showed that people with migraine, especially with aura, often have PFO, but it is not certain whether closing this heart opening helps prevent strokes in these patients.

The Role of Genetics in Stroke Risk and Outcome: A Review of Current Evidence
This study delineates the multiple pathways leading to stroke, encompassing genetic risk factors such as lipid/cholesterol metabolism, blood pressure regulation genes, and endothelial dysfunction. The report includes genetic pathways such as Val66Met polymorphism, prothrombin G20210A, interleukin‐6 and tumor necrosis factor gene variant, along with ...
